There was an article from the local paper in my area, the Kyabram Free Press just recently stating that one of our local clubs from the Goulburn Valley, Tongala were looking to get some ideas for a new jumper for 2013...
This Round (May 28), the Kyabram District Football League will be running a "Heritage Round" in support of the EJ Whitten Foundation.
This is a great idea by my league, and I hope that Murchison will be able to take part in it tomorrow (Our jumpers haven't arrived yet, even though we ordered...
Now that the veep nominations have been done and dusted (and they couldn't be more different the experienced politician but beltway insider in Joe Biden to the maverick but untested gov. from Alaska in Sarah Palin), I was wondering what could be the potential names that could be in an Obama or...
The Federal Government (obviously sensing the way the winds blowing), have again criticized the AFL's Drug Policy in light of the arrest of Ben Cousins, with Federal Sports Minister, George Brandis leading the charge...
I know that this was on the Main Board as well, but I thought I would provide you with a link to an interesting article from Harry Beitzel about his relationship with the champion footballer and Aboriginal Leader, the late Sir Douglas Nicholls.

This was on the main board as well, but here's a link to a story written about Doug Nicholls from Harry Beitzel, that's worth a look.

I know that the Benalla District Football League barely registers on the radar, due to it's size and stature, but considering that last Devenish had to forfiet all its matches (both Football & Netball) against Bonnie Doon on the weekend, is the equal (only to the Upper Murray FL) smallest league...
Former South African All-Rounder, Eddie Barlow has passed away in his home in North Wales after a long battle with Illness, he was 65.
Eddie was one of the lost generation of South African players who had thier international careers cut short due to Apartheit, and will be surely missed by South...
Although i'm not really sure where to start this thread, but I read an interesting article in The Age yesterday about the meaning of football in relation to Australian life, written by Martin Flanagan.
Although i'm a little biased, due to the fact that I have met the man on several occasions...
At least I hope so:D , because there was a film crew from "A Current Affair", here today to film a great human interest story about my Milk Company, Tatura Milk Industries.
Although I cannot give too much away (although I can tell that IT IS NOT a sob story, it's about an amazing an...
World idealogies with reference to cows:
FEUDALISM:
You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM:
You have two cows. The Government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The Government gives you a...
I, Wayde Petersen has been mentioned in Martin Flanagan's (Age Jounralist) new book, "THE GAME IN TIME OF WAR", a collection of short stories about people associated with Aussie Rules football since September 11th 2001,.
I've have a whole chapter dedicated to me called "The Heart of the...
I know that this sounds like a plug for Martin Flanagan's new book, but I have an hidden agenda here, for the simple reason that I, Wayde Petersen is the subject to a chapter in his book called "The Heart of the Game", based on an interview I did with him in the Age Newspaper in March this year...
Well, first off these are the rumours that I have heard so far, and a few of these have already been confirmed.
1. Tongala (Goulburn Valley FL) being courted by both the Bendigo & Heathcote League.
YES, Tonny have been courted by both of these leagues, but it's unlikely that they will move...
Well, after what I've heard from a few clubs in the league, the answer is Yes.
As I reported earlier, Shepparton East want to move to the Kyabram District F.L, making the KDFL a 12 team competition, I know of a few clubs who are really keen to have them on board, (Ardmona, Tallygaroopna)...
G'day.
I'm sorry that I couldn't do this a week earlier, which i'm upset about because I could've told you all about Colbinabbin's back to back premierships in the Heathcote League against the gallant Braodford, coached by Paul Tilley (ex Fitzroy/St Kilda) a game that I saw and quite...
VCFL Division One Country Championships
Goulburn Valley Football League vs Geelong Football League
I know I should've done this earlier but anyway here goes for my short but sweet preview for Sundays big game at Deakin Reserve, Shepparton.
The good news is that the game starts at 1:30...
Well in the Diamond Valley League, there was no real suprises in Division One, Northcote Park won against a determined Eltham, West Preston/Lakeside defeated Heidelberg (good one, eh Phil:D) Epping just got over the line against the Slime (Greensborough, who's heading off to Division Two), and...
The Mernda Football Club is having a party and you're invited.
First off the Mernda will play neighbours (and Mernda off-shoot) South Morang at the Mernda Recreation Reserve, Schotters Road Mernda, in what should be a good game with a big crowd expected.
Not only will my team be wearing...
I was wondering, is there a website around that has information on past VFL/AFL players ?.
Because I need some for Leo & Laurie Dwyer, Ern Hammond, Rex Huggard, and F. Robinson (North Melbourne), Gus Kearney (Richmond), Gordon Kearney (Geelong) & John Svenson (South Melbourne), all recruited...
Murray Football League side, Moama has been quick to deny rumours that they wish to join cross-town rivals Echuca in the Goulburn Valley Football League.
A letter, written by Moama's secretary and sent to GVFL's chief, Eric Bott was leaked to the Shepparton News, contained detailed...
Well, that's the big local football rumour going around around our region at the moment, and officials at Shepp. East have stated openly thay've always been open to any move away from the Central Goulburn Football League, and into the Picola District Football League (already 13 teams, with...
It's Wayde here, if you can catch me, i'll be in the chatroom now if you want to chew the fat.
I forgot, we don't have a chat room here anymore, BUGGER.
The reason why I asked was that I checked the Riddel League scores, noticing that Macedon have re-formed thier senior and reserve sides after a 2 1/2 year hiatus, but I didn't see Lancefield or Romsey listed (they should have 10 teams, not 8 (they had 9 last year).
Phil, you used to umpire in...
G'day football lovers in what should be a good year for local football, there has been a lot of comings and goings, but i'm sure that we're relieved that the season is going ahead as planned.
Firstly, the Kyabram District Football League, and reigning premiers, Ardmona as expected lost a heap...
There was an article about me in The Age today, on Page 6 and written by Martin Flanagan and although the link to it doesn't seem to work, I know that this will

Look under the heading "Here, cows like old-time music", it says all you need to...
Since that I mainly post here when i'm on Bigfooty, I thought that I would pass on this article that respected Age Journalist, Martin Flanagan did about me, although it only has a few mentions of football within it, I hope that you'll be able to understand me and my current situation a lot...
